Personal life

Bang, an only child, was born on June 16, 1991 to a government official father and housewife mother.[4]

Tax evasion

In January 2013, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) filed a tax evasion complaint with the Department of Justice (DOJ) against Bang for failure to pay his taxes in 2010 and 2011. The BIR sued him for a tax liability amounting to ₱1.82 million, including surcharges and interests.[5] In February 2013, Bang stated that he would like to make a personal appearance at the BIR to apologize for the incident. He was eager to resolve the case, and reasoned that he was still a high school student in 2010, and thus unaware of his responsibility to the Philippine government, in light of his income from the entertainment sector.[6]

Relationship

In 2010, Bang was romantically interested in Filipina singer Yeng Constantino.[7]

Career

In August 2010, Bang appeared as one of the guest judges in the comedy variety show Showtime, and stayed on from August 16, 2010 until October 8, 2011.[9] He also formerly hosted his own show 3ow Powhz on Studio 23, also appeared in the comedy gag show Banana Split, and made guest apperaances on Kim Atienza's program Matanglawin.[10] On the January 1, 2011 episode of showbiz talk show Entertainment Live, Bang was named one of 2010's breakthrough artists.
